In Midnight Lounge, Journalist Delegates Show Unwavering Commitment to Climate Action

2025-11-19

During the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Belém, one journalist captured a remarkable moment at Fortaleza Airport, which is 2 hours flight away from Belém: a busy lounge after midnight, filled with delegates from around the world, all waiting for the same red-eye flight. Despite long journeys of up to 60 hours, they were united by a common goal: their presence is the most powerful way to show their nations’ commitment to climate action.

From a journalist’s lens, this scene was more than just an airport lounge — it was a microcosm of COP30’s spirit. Climate action is a shared mission connecting us all, and as journalists, we are an essential part of this narrative, capturing and sharing these powerful moments with the world.
